During a private event for corporate sponsors Wednesday at Ford Field, Lions president Rod Wood affirmed the team's plans to release four new jerseys before the NFL draft.

Wood said Lions owner Martha Ford and her family were involved in the design of the uniform, but he declined to say how dramatic the changes will be. The rebranded Lions logo includes only minor changes. The team also altered its font.

"We worked very closely with the league and Nike in designing the uniforms and had several different options presented to us before we finally settled on the one that we’ll unveil on April 13," Wood said. "And I think you’ll be pleased. I think the fans will be pleased."

The Lions are expected to have new home and away jerseys this fall, and they'll also release a new alternate jersey and Color Rush uniform.

Last year, the Lions unveiled an all-black Color Rush uniform that they never wore. That's expected to be replaced by a different color, now that black has been removed from the Lions' color scheme.

Before the Lions settled on the all-black uniform, the NFL encouraged them to wear an all-silver version.

Asked whether the Lions will wear all four uniforms this fall, Wood said, "I’m not going to commit to what’ll be worn, but there will be four uniform options."
